astonishingly, the area near the boundary is still extremely wet. clearly the ability of the ground to drain was over-estimated.

Ian Botham @BeefyBotham

Don't think there will be any more play today... Must be blocked drains below the media stand...shame for the fans & OT !!

Lawrence Booth @the_topspin

The game's basically being held up because the area in front of the media centre drains less well than the rest of the ground. Great.

Andrew McGlashan @andymcg_cricket

The outfield issues suggest if the dodgy forecast for Sunday comes true it could be terminal unless game progresses tomorrow. #engvind

Jonathan Agnew @Aggerscricket

Abandoned

Play has been abandoned for the day at the Old Trafford due to wet outfield. #EngvsInd

Hugely disappointing news. England will resume tomorrow on 237-6 - 85 runs ahead of India

Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha

called off! astonishing! apparently the heavy machinery used to build the stand we are in has disturbed the drainage in that part.
